Grandpa removed the wheel hub, replaced it with brand new tires, and then tightened it with an electric torque gun with a "zzzz" sound.
"Shan Dongwei Tu".
Lu Yibei noticed the trademark on the tire.
He picked up the tires from a car repair shop that wasn't far from his home, a walk of only ten or twenty minutes.
But he didn't buy it.
Grandpa was an old acquaintance of the auto repair shop. He had communicated with the owner on WeChat beforehand and had also paid the money.
Lu Yibei took on the role of a rider.
"Why didn't you get me two Michelin stars?" Lu Yibei asked.
"Your dad used that kind of thing when he was racing on the track."
Grandpa said calmly, "Now the car parts have all been restored to the original factory, so we can't use such good tires—besides, Weitu is not much worse than Michelin, and it's cheaper."
Lu Yibei nodded.
That really reflects Grandpa's consistent style.
Save money where you can and spend it where you can, aiming for high cost-effectiveness.
He just didn't delve deeper into car modification; otherwise, he'd be a good-for-nothing anyway.
According to Grandma, Grandpa's "universal repair manual" was created because he found the labor costs of repairing things by others too high after many things broke down, so he chose to study it himself.
As a result of continuous study and research, I've developed this "the more skills you have, the better" situation...
Grandpa snorted dismissively:
"Don't question my choice..."
He stopped talking before he could finish.
Lu Yibei looked back and saw that it was his grandmother leading Ji Qingqian out.
"Is it not done yet?" Grandma urged.
"That's good, that's good—"
As Grandpa fiddled with it, he scolded Grandma, "What are you doing bringing people here?"
Ji Qingqian was slightly taken aback, thinking that her grandfather did not welcome her.
Actually, what Grandpa was thinking was that this place was dirty, crowded, and smelled strongly of engine oil.
This is clearly not in line with a girl who looks like a delicate white flower...
Ji Qingqian subconsciously looked at Lu Yibei.
Lu Yibei was helping his grandfather hold up a tire.
The October 10 o'clock sun shone brightly on him, and he was only wearing a white vest with some black oil stains on it.
It doesn't look very clean.
But when he looked at me, he just grinned, as if he were brimming with endless vitality.
Ji Qingqian felt her eyes were glaringly bright.
She smiled back, pursing her lips.
She then noticed that the neighbors who were watching her were staring at her and whispering among themselves.
"What a neat and tidy girl." "Neat and tidy" is a local dialect word meaning "beautiful."
"Even if this girl were in the surrounding area, she would be the most beautiful, right?"
"So beautiful! Look at her eyelashes, so fine, thick, and curled, they're really captivating."
How dare you assume someone's gender?
The last sentence sounds like a joke, but it's not surprising in the Lu family...
After all, the girl that Xiao Lu brought back last time was someone people genuinely thought was his girlfriend when they walked down the street.
What happened next? Hey, the guy—
However, not many people came up to talk to Ji Qingqian.
After all, just the sight of this girl standing there lowered the temperature by two degrees; her face was snow-white and icy cold.
Middle-aged women who are good at reading people think this girl is practically asking them to get lost.
Few dared to speak up; instead, it was those who couldn't read the room.
"Which school does the little girl go to?" someone asked.
"Jiangnan University."
"Oh my, just like Old Lu's grandson, he's also a top student at Jiang University."
"What grade are you in this year?" someone else asked.
"Freshman year".
"Isn't that two grades below Yibei?"
Lu Yibei chuckled and corrected, "It's one year lower. I'm only a sophomore."
"Haha, you've already brought your wife home in your sophomore year, Yibei, you're much more successful than my wife!"
Lu Yibei smiled, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then noticed that Ji Qingqian seemed a little uncomfortable.
Indeed, Lady Qingqian has never been fond of socializing.
Besides, with so many people here, all talking at once, she'd probably get dizzy just listening to them.
Just as Lu Yibei was about to let her go in first, he heard his grandmother say:
"Oh dear, Qianqian hasn't had breakfast yet, has she?"
Ji Qingqian nodded.
"Come in with Grandma quickly—"
Grandma pulled Ji Qingqian's wrist and led her inside. Then she glared at her grandson and said, "Look at her, she hasn't even had breakfast yet, and she's only thinking about seeing you. Isn't that great?"
Ji Qingqian lowered her eyes slightly, her face flushing slightly.
Even so, Grandma, you don't need to say it out loud... Ah Bei will understand on his own.
Lu Yibei: ...
It has to be said that the grandmother and grandson have a pretty deep understanding of each other.
After his grandmother raised her eyebrows, Lu Yibei immediately understood.
Grandma wasn't saying this to him at all; she was telling it to all the neighbors.
well.
Lu Yibei sighed; he had originally just wanted to keep a low profile.
Unexpectedly, at the very last moment, Grandma even showed off their affection on his behalf…
Moreover, this display of "affection" is more effective when it's shown by the grandmother than when he does it himself.
The youngest of the neighbors was over forty years old.
Those are people who have seen a lot, unlike the naive and inexperienced students in school.
They won't show envy over something as trivial as a romantic relationship.
But once Grandma opened her mouth, the direction changed again.
They'll think about their own descendants, wondering if their son (or grandson) will ever find such a beautiful girlfriend...
When it comes to showing affection, Lu Yibei still has to admit that there is a significant gap between him and his grandmother.
